Right now there are 5 differents methods for loading modules on startup. 1) initrd. Of course this is necessary, but mkinitrd it doesn't respect changes made to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. 2) Traditional modprobe.conf, but now we have added /etc/modprobe.d/* 3) /etc/rc.modules 4) some modules right in /etc/rc.sysinit 5) and the new guy /etc/sysconfig/modules One of the goals of a small change like this is to start getting ready for larger changes by having an organized system. If we don't like /etc/sysconfig/modules then let's get rid of it. What we have now just seems disjoint and confusing.
